[QUOTE=Aredbomb;25031429]From what I've heard this "weak Samus" has actually been developing for a while now in Japan, it's just that they never adapted it into the games until now. I guess it would have been best left non-canon.[/QUOTE]
That's an understatement.
Oh my goodness. I just looked at the Wikipedia page for the Metroid series, and the plot summary for Other M is about 20 times longer than the summary for the other games. It was probably just a case of poor wiki editing, but it's still funny nonetheless.
goddddd I'm sooo hard to pleaseeee and it makes me angryyyy
Just be glad they even released another Metroid game.
I'm almost amazed i didn't hear the faint flip of the paper from the voice actor for samus flipping pages to find the next line.

It's not like there was ever any doubt whatsoever that Nintendo wouldn't decide to end any of its extremely profitable franchises.
It's perfectly alright to complain about faults in something. You would be annoyed if you got a bowl of your favorite kind of soup, but then you find out that it's too salty, right?

I bet it could have been delicious if there wasn't so much damned salt.
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;25021045]Why the fuck am I playing as Samus if by the end of the game she needs a strong burly man to come and rescue her from her own womanly emotions and incompetence? Why the fuck am I playing as Samus if she's short, skinny, delicate, and useless? It just completely ruins the feeling of the game.[/QUOTE]
lol what the fuck are you even talking about
You play through the entire game, taking down massive bosses and slaughtering countless amounts of enemies, and you think Samus is "useless"?
Needs a strong, burly man? ...When? If you're talking about Adam, Samus looks up to him as a fatherly figure. But... *gasp* Samus can't care for people right?!?!? She's not ~humannn.

Team Ninja didn't develop the game. It was a special team made up of people from Nintendo, Team Ninja and D-Rockets.

What about when she sees ridley and then pisses her pants and watches anthony get turned into gulash
yep totally independent no cases of making her into an emotional crying baby at all
Yes, she cares about him SO MUCH that she is willing to burn alive in a pit of fire simply because he didn't tell her not to.
But I guess if you think that's stupid you just don't like her being human amirite

Decent voice acting isn't really a ridiculously high standard.
I nearly fell asleep during that video. She sounded like she had a lobotomy.

hey let's take two events from the game out of context and bash the entire game based off of that

It's like if they made a Mario game in which Mario is positively [I]stunned[/I] to find that Princess Peach had been kidnapped. So stunned in fact that he falls into a deep depression.

Sometimes I don't like to be right about people.
I don't see why everyone's making such a huge fuss about Mr. Scorpio. People will like some games and dislike others. Just because you like Other M doesn't mean that everyone should like it. I watched that video and I completely agree, Samus has been turned into a useless pussy and her voice acting is incredibly boring. I don't know what the gameplay is like, and it could be fun (except for the freezing in place to fire missiles thing, that looks awful) but it definately lessened the appeal of the game after seeing the story.

Samus is a killing machine and doesn't have feelings or problems.

There's a difference between someone with feelings and someone who's a dependent, whining, incompetent blithering asshole who gets people killed with their incompetence.

I don't recall Samus ever getting paralyzed by fear the first 20 times Ridley showed up.
She'd fuck his ass up and be on her merry way.
It's okay to give her feelings, but not ones that directly contradict what her character had been build up as over the past years.
I think the best portrayal of her feelings were in the bonus ending of Metroid Prime 3, where she sat down and mourned the other three bounty hunters who she had to kill. She was a badass who didn't take shit from nobody, but she had regrets on the inside for some of the things she's done.
Instead, they turned her into a submissive pussy.

The problem is that the Japanese can't seem to make a female character that isn't fucking jerkoff material.

Seriously, knock that shit off. I'm not saying I derived no enjoyment out of Other M, it's just that it's offensively bad. And I refuse to acknowledge it as otherwise simply because you think passivity is the ideal emotion.

I was never asking you to acknowledge it as a good game.
I merely suggested that if your expectations were such that they were causing you to react outwardly hateful towards something that's intended to be fun, you should rethink your standards.

Why can't they simply incorporate what is in the manga into the actual game's story? (That's my biggest problem with games that derive comics and books, because then there will be major story changes that happen in the book, yet aren't explained in the games)
And they still wound up making her incredibly boring and unlikable.
